Creating and Holding Space for LBGTQA+ Students: A Conversation
Wednesday, Nov. 10 from 2 to 3:30 p.m., BTC 207
As some of the first individuals a student engages with, primary-role and faculty advisors are central to influencing a student’s perception of campus climate and sense of belonging. Acknowledging how a student’s race, sexuality, and gender identity can implicate and exacerbate a student’s sense of belonging and ability to embrace their intersecting identities is critical. In this webinar, authors and editors of the new NACADA/Stylus book, “Advising LGBTQA+ Students,” discuss the critical role that advisors, administrators and all campus personnel play in validating LGBTQA+ student experience, particularly Queer and Trans Students of Color (QTPOC). But what exactly can advisors do to see and hold space for LGBTQA+ students? How exactly do advisors validate LGBTQA+ Students of Color, work to maintain student privacy, acknowledge the advising climate on a campus, and remain knowledgeable about campus and community resources? These questions and many others are important and worth our time in discussion. This webinar highlights the critical work in this text as well as practical strategies that faculty and primary-role advisors need to ask new questions and develop informed responses for advising LGBTQA+ students.
Academic Advising Core Competencies that will be addressed in this presentation include:
I5 The characteristics, needs, and experiences of major and emerging student populations.
R2 Create rapport and build academic advising relationships
R3 Communicate in an inclusive and respectful manner.
Facilitator: Ainsley A. Thomas
Get to Know Your Resources:
Friday, Nov. 12 from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., BTC 207
HVCC offers its students numerous support services and, as Academic Advisors, you often refer students to these various campus resources. It is okay to admit you do not have all the answers, but you should be able to point your students in the direction of someone who does. Therefore, it is important to create partnerships across the campus.
This workshop will be the first in a series to get to know the student support areas available on the HVCC Campus. Staff from the Center of Academic Engagement (CAE), Learning Centers and Veteran Resource and Outreach Center (VETROC) will kick off this first session. Even if you are a veteran advisor this session is for you.
